I changed the original from Continental brand all season tires to these, on a company van. The originals were good overall. In fact, I've tried many brands and found Continental to be the most dependable and predictable tire in any weather; even with my "extreme" driving style. There are other brands out there which offer more grip on dry roads but wear out faster. There are other brands still that feel sportier when changing lanes or on twisty roads but they are less predictable in extreme braking or on ice/ snow/ rain etc. Believe me when I say this; Continental high performance all seasons are the BEST in my book because regardless of driving conditions... Not just because they grip hard in curves and lose traction at the itmost limits in a gradual and communicate manner.. but because I know what to expect from Contis if I need to react to emergency situations in city/ interstate traffic or sudden obstacles on the backroads in the woods. Rain or shine (and even in mild snow) Continentals get you home safe; and they even happen to last long and be fairly quiet too. I know what you're thinking...(isn't this a review for the Bridgestone?) Well yes. But I need to establish what MY criteria are when reviewing tires and make it clear I'm not ordinarily inclined to buy anything other than Continental. But that being said, this Bridgestone was all I could get to replace the worn out tires on my van and I need to admit, I was very impressed. The first thing I noticed is that the Bridgestone had a wider track than the Continentals they replaced. The traction was equally good in rain and snow and the grip was surprisingly good in dry weather too. Strangely enough, the Bridgestone was actually dramatically smoother and quieter going down the highway and when hitting potholes and expansion strips on the highway it no longer felt like a bone jarring slam that shuddered through the whole frame of the van. But here's my point; I love Continental. Generally they're awesome. But I'm thinking that ANY type tires, as they are, will tend to get louder and be rougher on the road than new ones. So YOU have to temper your opion when reading reviews and take everything with a grain of salt. Another thing; different cars get along differently with a given type of tire compared to another. So when reading reviews its good to look for people who are driving the same car or at least have the same preferences/priorities in tire requirements when discussing their reviews. NEVER judge a tire just on the numerical score... But back to the review. I consider myself a car-person and like to drive "swiftly" and still prefer the Continentals in any weather on any car. BUT... This Bridgestone Weatherbeater is one seriously good tire. (That being said, I've only driven about 5000 miles on them so you'll need to ask somebody else if they STAY good for 40k miles or however long they're sup to last. Hope this review helps you find the tire that fits your needs best.

It was a great tire, but only lasted half what was warranted. Got a replacement set of tires, but was charged for mounting and balancing, which I think is an oversight in their warranty policy. They're great as a one-tire, but don't expect them to last long.

The tires did great in all weather, we get mild winters but I worked on top of a mountain and conditions were pretty bad in winter time. They did great in rain and on dry, lasted just about the entire tread life. lost stars on Value due to the rebate. Not so happy on the rebate offer, so far it had been rejected due to what they said was a "Blurry or Illegible Invoice" the re-submission now just claims to be Not Approved.

I've used Firestone tires on this car the last 2 or 3 sets. I put a LOT of miles on it driving Uber\Lyft. These are the best price for good quality tires I could find. The extra grip tread on this set has already impressed me by climbing up some ridiculously steep driveways and taking unexpected curves with no slipping. I'm a fan of Firestone products AND their professional full service garages. ~R.

I have purchased this tire twice. My wife loves them and I love that I can depend on them to get her to and from work. We drive 110 miles round trip every working day and it is a relief for me that she has tires on her vehicle that we can depend on. We don't work the same hours so both of our vehicles are on the road all of the time. We have not had an ounce of trouble with these tires. Thank you Firestone!!!

Several hundred miles in the upper peninsula snow and ice they handle well , they look like snow tires but their not, so they'll be good longevity 65,000 mile warranty. Put a weather guard and a Firestone winter tire side by side there isn't a lot of difference!

While on a trip, I decided to replace my tires to travel through tropical storm Debby. I decided on the Weathergrip. They performed really well and gave me the peace of mind as we travelled, holding to the road through the downpours. I have been really satisfied with these tires and hope to get projected life of these tires.

These tires were recommended to me by my local dealer. I am so far pleased. The tires are a little noisy(Barely noticable) as I was told. The ride and handling is excelent. As it is Summer I have yet to drive them in any adverse weather. I purchased them because I was told that they are better than the LE in the Snow. I am looking forward to trying them out.

I just purchased 4 brand new Weather grip by Firestone tires and happy with that. In the past 2 weeks that the tires are replaced, I had no problem with them. My previous tires were Michelin which I paid too much and didn't have a long life. I think it's too soon to have a right judgment about my new tires but so far, so good!!!

Bought these after one of my OEM tires blew out. Comparative to the OEM tires on the car the weather grips are a little higher on the road noise but by no means deafening. Where these tire excel though is the winter and rain, I have driven on these tires to Crested Butte and Breckinridge during ski season and never once did I feel like car was going to slide out from under me. In fact, with these tires in the snow I've had to TRY to induce the car into oversteering. I have also driven through some flash flooding in Manitou Springs and when other cars were noticeably hydroplaning mine was constantly planted. If you are more focused on a quiet ride these tires are not for you. But if you are looking for some higher grip on adverse condition All season tires that aren't as loud and inefficient as All terrain tires these are a really good option to consider. I've surprising gotten 35 mpg with them, and my car is rated for 31 mpg.
